Oh yeah? How far before Christ? Did he save Homo erectus? What about Australopithecus? Don't tell me Lucy isn't being saved. Or what about Tiktaalik? Tiktaalik was our like few tenths millionth grandmother after all.

So which part of Jesus' body did you get to munch?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
